Perhaps a year or so ago I built a very nice "DBT" (Dim Bulb Tester) in
one of those classy little aluminum and fiber Cases that Harbor 'Fright'
sells. Went the extra mile to make it nice, lamp socket in the lid,
double duplex box with a power switch and outlet, 3 wire power cord and
of course storage for a few light bulbs.
With the new isolated variac it's not likely it'll get much use, but
it's way too nice to "part out", cost too much to make it worth the cost
of selling it/shipping it, etc.
Guess I'll hang on to it either as a curiosity or for some "quick
testing" of some questionable device.
Perhaps if I run across a neophyte BA enthusiast in the local area I'll
pass it on to him. . .
